> Open-source Agent Harness Platform, a native AI agent workspace that codes, automates, remembers, and coordinates. Runs on your own machine. Sovereign by design.
thClaws is a native-Rust AI agent workspace that runs locally on your machine. Not just coding, it edits code, automates workflows, searches your knowledge bases, and coordinates teams of agents, all in one binary. You tell it what you want in natural language; it reads your files, runs commands, uses tools, and talks back to you while it works.
